Magento

Our installation has an “index.php” stuck after the domain for every URL.

http://mystore.net/index.php/product-category/product-subcategory.html

Any idea how this got here and how to get rid of it?

i’d double check before you follow my advice but I think you add a mod_rewrite line to you htaccess file to remove .php.

google: mod rewrite htaccess

you must also turn on rewrite in the configuration.

I modified the “Use Web Server Rewrites” to “Yes” in System->Configuration ->General->Web.
When i click on any product from front end it give 404 error.
Request URL: http://localhost/magento/phone/w900i-sony.html -404 Error
URL : http://localhost/magento/index.php/phone/w900i-sony.html - Shows product.

I think mod_rewirte is not happens here. So i enable the rewrite log(RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log) in .htaccess, log file also does not create.
I need to change any modification in .htaccess???

Ravikumar N B’s config setting advice fixed it! Thanks guys!

Can you explain how to configure this???

I just changed that one setting and it worked (for the front end, at least; the admin is still freaky, but I don’t care).

Still i am facing same problem.

I think any apache level configuration problem.Because mod_rewirte is not working properly.
i installed my apache using this command

any one can help me.

Well, for one thing “--enable-speling” is misspelled ... ironically. Not that that has anything to do with your problems.

Ok. How to check mod_rewirte is working or not???

if you go to your homepage, it will not have index.php at the end if it’s working.

NO.
Without index.php i cant view my site.
Previously it was loaded, because of “DirectoryIndex index.php” configurated in appache httpd.conf.
If i remove from httpd.conf then my website is not loading.

Hello everybody ,

I solved my problem with index.php like this:

I enabled the url rewriting in admin->system ->configuration like it is said before in this post, and I also changed my .htaccess.

I am running my website on 1and1 server.

I hope this will help somone.

This is what my htaccess file looks like and it works for me:
You can try and copy and paste all of it, see if that also works for you (do backup your file before, just in case this does not work for you).

Guys, enable rewrites in the gui and
in the .htaccess file you only need to change this:
RewriteRule .* index.php [L]
to:
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Hope this works for you. It did for me.... im using Magento version 1.2.1.1

For me this worked:

Admin > System > General > Web > SEO Rewrite turned “on”

In the .htaccess:

I kept the original .htaccess with the exception of configuring the RewriteBase:

############################################
## you can put here your magento root folder
## path relative to web root

RewriteBase /clients/xxx

Hope this helps.
